Thermal imaging has become increasingly accessible, thanks to companies like Infiray disrupting the market with high-quality, affordable solutions. In this Voltlog, we explore the Infiray T2S Plus Thermal Camera, a versatile and feature-packed device compatible with iOS devices via a Lightning connector.
Unlike its predecessor, the T2S Plus reviewed in Voltlog #442, this model boasts an adjustable 8mm lens and a convenient handle mount, making it a compact, single-hand usage package. The mount’s sturdy build quality, ergonomic design, and multiple tripod mounting points add to its appeal. Upon connecting the camera to an iPhone, it prompts the installation of the required app, streamlining the setup process.
The live feed immediately impresses with its high resolution and refresh rate, delivering fluid, detailed thermal images that almost resemble visible light. The user-friendly app offers various color palettes, video and image capture modes, and temperature measurement tools like point, rectangle, and line markers.
Adjustable settings like emissivity, distance, and temperature units further enhance the camera’s accuracy. While the app’s simplicity is appreciated, more advanced users may desire additional options like image flipping or mirroring for better cable management and positioning flexibility. In practical tests, the T2S Plus excels in electrical panel and HVAC inspections, allowing precise focus adjustment and temperature measurements within defined areas.
Remarkably, it can also handle up-close PCB inspections, clearly displaying 0402-sized components and 0.3mm traces, although not as optimized as the dedicated macro lens model. Priced at just $30 more than the T2S Plus, the adjustable lens and included mount make the T2S Plus iOS version a compelling choice for its versatility and value.
Infiray’s high-resolution, high-refresh-rate thermal sensors outperform similarly priced FLIR models, disrupting the market and driving innovation.
